session, Of which there seems no present
probability, the two horses will appear
here no more until the first Wednesday In
December.
The record Just made ND and closed
shows that there were 4S0 bills and Joint
resolutions pissed, and the enrolment Of
them makes 9G1 pages OF the Rolls; the re-
yiscd Code not included. An exception
was made in respect 10 that, and the copy
rs II came from the committee and reyisers
was bv special act substituted for the en-
crossed bill and enrolled copy.
The bulk Of the laws passed refer TO rail-
road and improvement companies, &c, DC.

panics (whose avOwed object Is 10 develop
mineral lands) Is 10 be taken as a true indi-

The extension OF the time for the collec-
lion Oi state faxes from June 18th 10 sep
iemter 1st will, ~ before stated, probably
exhaust the Treasury Of the cash in II be-
fore the last-named date; but there will

no fear that the intrcst on the new 81 will

vided for.

Yesterday that they could not see aoy good
